In diploid, sexually reproducing populations, for which type of heritability (narrow-sense heritability or broad-sense heritability) does selection have the most relevant and predictable action? Why?

Expert Solution

In diploid, sexually reproducing population have broad sense heritability.

The protion of variation in a treat explained by inherited genetic variation refers to most general version of heritability. It doesn't comes from one single gene , rather it comes from 100 different gene or complex interaction. The effect of environment on the trait isn't simply the remainder after accounting for all the genetic effect instead they can overlap and interact on complex way.

It doesn't predict the extent to which offspring resemblance to their parents but it can measure the proportion of variance in phenotype through the genotype variance.

Hope the answer is clear!! Please give positive ratings!! Thank you

A. Choose the word that makes this sentence correct: The higher/lower the narrow-sense heritability of a trait, the faster you would expect that trait to respond to selection. B. Explain your answer from part A. Identify the equation you could use to predict the response of a trait to selection (1 pt.). Describe mathematically how changing the narrow-sense heritability would lead to the outcome you identified in part A
